Stars NL50 Flush Draw vs Underbetting

[AlexM]

Villain is unknown. Due to his underbets I thought calling was the right move, but I'm not sure and I have no idea what I'd have done if I hit an A or a K. Comments?

I like raising the flop.

Just to see where you stand and take controll of the hand and probably taking a free card on the turn.

Repop flop to $20-25. Check through turn and probably fold river if you missed.

Push flop. You're a slight fav to JJ here.

I don't see how being a favorite to JJ equals push. I'm also behind against say A9.

This is a reraised pot however so villian isn't likely to have A9. Being a small favourite means that you want to get the money in when you can. Folding out hands like JJ or QQ now is very good for you and you still have plenty of outs if villian has AA or KK.

Your'e only a slight dog to A9 anyways. There's so much money in the pot already and you can assume you have about 50% equity in this pot. Odds wise, its a push. He could also fold the flop too, he made a weak lead for only 1/2 pot.

Flop is all-in or fold turn
